Abstract excerpt
Upon pathogen infection, receptors in plants will activate a localized immune response, the effector-triggered immunity (ETI), and a systemic immune response, the systemic acquired response (SAR). Infection also induces oscillations in the redox environment of plant cells, triggering response mechanisms involving sensitive cysteine residues that subsequently alter protein function. Arabidopsis thaliana thimet...
